Article Tools

State police at Hazleton are searching for a missing 17-year-old girl from Dorrance Township who vanished after getting a ride to Wilkes-Barre.

Troopers said at about 7:20 p.m. Sunday, Jocelyn Kay Keller's parents reported her missing. Police say Keller was last seen about 2 p.m. Sunday after she got a ride from her job in Fairview Township to Coal Street in Wilkes-Barre.

Jocelyn received several phone calls from a man at her job and may be in the company of an unknown adult, police said.

The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children considers Jocelyn an "endangered runaway."

She is described as 5 feet, 6 inches tall and weighing about 160 pounds with brown hair and eyes. She has pierced ears and a small scar on the outside corner of her right eye.

Anyone with information on the case is asked to call police at 570-459-3890.
